A change of seasons
A change of seasons

a change of seasons
funeral for a friend / love lies bleeding
perfect strangers
the rover / achilles last stand / the song remains the same
the big medley
a change of seasons
I the crimson sunrise
[instrumental]
					
II innoncence
i remember a time
my frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
imagined what it might find
life was filled with wonder
i felt the warm wind blow
i must explore the boundaries
transcend the depth of winter's snow
innocence caressing me
i never felt so young before
there was so much life in me
still i longed to search for more
but those days are gone now
changed like a leaf on a tree
blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
the snow has now fallen
and my sun's not so bright
i struggle to hold on
with the last of my might
in my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane
ignorance surrounding me
i've never been so filled with fear
all my life's been drained from me
the end is drawing near....
					
III carpe diem
'carpe diem, seize the day'
i'll always remember
the chill of november
the news of the fall
the sounds in the hall
the clock on the wall ticking away
'seize the day'
i heard him say
life will not always be this way
look around
hear the sounds
cherish your life while you're still around

"gather ye rosebuds while ye may,        [sample is james waterston from   ]
old time is still a-flying;             [the film "dead poet's society".  ]
and this same flower that smiles today, [from the poem "to the virgins, to]
tomorrow will be dying."                [make much of time" by robert     ]
				    [herrick.                         ]  

we can learn from the past
but those days are gone
we can hope for the future
but there might not be one
the words stuck in my mind
alive from what i've learned
i have to seize the day
to home i returned
preparing for her flight
i held with all my might
fearing my deepest fright
she walked into the night
she turned for one last look
she looked me in the eye
i said, 'i love you...good-bye'

"it's the most awful thing you'll        [various samples mainly john      ]
ever hear."                             [voight from the film "table for  ]
"if you're lying to me..."               [five", some are from the film    ]
"oh, you dearly love her."               ["dead poet's society".           ]
"...just have to leave... all our lives."
"seize the day!"
"something happened."
"gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
"she was killed."
					
IV the darkest of winters
[instrumental]
					
V another world
so far or so it seems
all is lost with nothing fulfilled
off the pages and the t.v. screen
another world where nothing's true
tripping through the life fantastic
lose a step and never get up
left alone with a cold blank stare
i feel like giving up
i was blinded by a paradise
utopia high in the sky
a dream that only drowned me
deep in sorrow, wondering why
oh come let us adore him
abuse and then ignore him
no matter what, don't let him be
let's feed upon his misery
then string him up for all the world to see
i'm sick of all you hypocrites
holding me at bay
and i don't need your sympathy
to get me through the day
seasons change and so can i
hold on boy, no time to cry
untie these strings, i'm climbing down
i won't let them push me away
oh come let us adore him
abuse and then ignore him
no matter what, don't let him be
let's feed upon his misery
now it's time for them to deal with me
					
VI the inevitable summer
[instrumental]
					
VII the crimson sunset
i'm much wiser now
a lifetime of memories
run through my head
they taught me how
for better or worse, alive or dead
i realize there's no turning back
life goes on the offbeaten track
i sit down with my son
set to see the crimson sunset
(gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
many years have come and gone
i've lived my life, but now must move on
(gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
he's my only one
now that my time has come
now that my life is done
we look into the sun
'seize the day and don't you cry,
now it's time to say good-bye
even though i'll be gone,
i will live on, live on.'

funeral for a friend / love lies bleeding
funeral for a friend

elton john's song

[instrumental]
					
love lies bleeding

elton john's song

    the roses in the window box
    have tilted to one side
    everything about this house
    is gonna grow and die

    well it doesn't seem a year ago
    to this very day
    you said sorry honey
    if i don't change the pace
    i can't face another day

    [chorus:]
       and love lies bleeding in my hand
       oh it kills me to think of you with another man
       i was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan
       when my guitar couldn't hold you
       so i split the band
       love lies bleeding in my hands

    i wonder if those changes
    have left a scar on you
    all the burning hoops of fire
    that you and i passed through

    you're a bluebird on a telegraph line
    i hope you're happy now
    while if the wind of change coming down your way girl
    you'll make it back somehow

    [chorus]
    [chorus]
    love lies bleeding in my hands

perfect strangers

deep purple's song

    can you remember remember my name
    as i flow through your life
    a thousand oceans i have flown
    and cold spirits of ice
    all my life
    i am the echo of your past

    i am returning the echo of a point in time
    distant faces shine
    a thousand warriors i have known
    and laughing as the spirits appear
    all your life
    shadows of another day

    and if you hear me talking on the wind
    you've got to understand
    we must remain
    perfect strangers

    i know i must remain inside this silent well of sorrow

    a strand of silver hanging through the sky
    touching more than you see
    the voice of ages in your mind
    is aching with the dead of the night
    precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)

    and if you hear me talking on the wind
    you've got to understand
    we must remain
    perfect strangers

the rover / achilles last stand / the song remains the same

led zeppelin's songs

the rover
[instrumental]
					
achilles last stand
    it was an april morning
    when they told us we should go
    and as i turned to you
    you smiled at me
    how could they say no?

    all the fun to have
    to live the dreams we always had
    oh the songs to sing
    when we at last return again, yeah

    sending off a glancing kiss
    to those who claim they know
    know the streets a seaman he's
    the devil in his hole

    oh to sail away
    sailing lands and other days
    oh to touch the dream
    hides inside and never seen, yeah

    into the sun the south the north
    lies the first of hope
    shackles of commitments fell
    in pieces on the ground

    oh to ride the wind
    to tread the air above the din
    oh to laugh aloud
    dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah

    to seek the man whose pointing hand
    the giant step unfolds
    with guidance from the curving path
    that churns up into stone

    if one bell should ring
    in celebration for a king
    so fast the heart should beat
    as proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
					
the song remains the same
    oh, yeah
    here we go
    wanted to know, oh

    sing out hare, hare, oh
    dance the hoochie koo
    the city lights oh so bright,
    as we go sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding through.

the big medley
in the flesh ?

pink floyd's song

    so you thought you might like to,
    go to the show.
    to feel the warm thrill of confusion,
    that space cadet glow.
    tell me is something eluding you, sunshine?
    is this not what you expected to see?
    if you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes,
    you'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.

    lights...
    roll the sound effects...
    action...
    ???
					
carry on wayward son

kansas's song

[instrumental]
					
bohemian rhapsody

queen's song

    so you think you can stone me and spit in my eye.
    so you think you can love me and leave me to die.
    oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
    just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
					
lovin, touchin, squeezin

journey's song

    you make me weep and wanna die
    just when you said we'd try
    lovin', touchin', squeezin'
    each other

    when i'm alone all by myself
    you're out with someone else
    lovin', touchin', squeezin'
    each other

    you're tearing me apart
    every, every day
    you're tearin' me apart
    oh, what can i say?
    you're tearin' me apart
    it won't be long, no, until
    you're alone
    when you're lover, oh he hasn't
    come home
    'cause he's lovin', oh he's touchin', he's squeezin'
    another

    he's tearin' you apart
    every, every day
    he's tearin' you apart
    oh girl what can you say?
    'cause he's lovin', touchin',
    another
    now it's your turn, girl, to cry

dixie dregs's song

turn it on again

genesis's song

    turn it on, turn it on, turn it on again

    turn, turn it on, turn it on again
